Are 35 & 50 too close together?

Been trying to have a 3 prime light lens set for my X-T2.

The bigger picture here is I had to rationalise (aka release some cash) in order to buy into GFX.

My thinking was to simplify my X series lenses to 2 sets:

The 'do most things superbly well' zoom set

• 16-55
• 50-140

The compact, light 3 primes 'this is why I got into X series' set

• 16 f/2.8
• 35 f/1.4
• 50 f/2

Here's the problem: 35 & 50 feel too close together for me. So do I:

• Take one or the other, but not both, with the 16
• Ditch the 50, replace with the 90 (heavy, expensive)
• Ditch the 50, replace with the Viltrox 85 (heavy, but probably close to cost neutral to change)
• Ditch the 50, replace with Canon 85 f/1.8 (not much lighter with Fringer, but probably cost neutral to change)

Any other light, economic AF prime options >60mm?

For a long time my base kit with my Nikon 35 mm was 28 mm, 50 mm and 105.  I had a 75 for my Leica.  With the Leica I had a 28, 50 and 75.  At first I felt the 75 and 50 were too close together but over time I learned to appreciate the 75 as a partner with the 50.

Personally I feel that there is a big hole in the Fuji lineup - that being a 75 mm f2 similar to the compact design of the 50 f2.  Jumping from a 35 APSC to 85 or 90 (APSC ) leaves too big of a hole.

My XPro lens line up is 18 f2, 23 f2, 35 f1.4, 50 f2.  I had the 90 in from time to time which I use mostly on the H1.  In many situations I have learned to like the 50 as a supporting lens for the 35 f1.4.
